Re: D19 LP will not start unless pulled

It is my understanding the resistor is there to reduce voltage so you do not burn up your points. If full voltage was allowed to go through the ignition it would not work for long. As far as the occasional good spark, check the condenser. Could be faulty from the get go! If you can, change it. As far as compression causing ignition problems, not sure. The only time compression seems involved with ignition is when a spark plug is faulty and will not fire under compression. Things I learned from my dad years ago! Hope this helps!

Thanks for all the info. The condenser and points that are in there now are the third new set that I have put in in recent months. Same old story with all three sets. I guess it is possible to have three bad ones in a row, but I'm thinking it is something else. Danged if I know though. I have the tractor parked on an incline. Earlier today I let it roll just a few feet and it started and ran like a new one. I am ordering a new Pertronix electronic ignition now from YT and will see if that is the trick.
